Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

Yeah I remember that as well.
Didn't they also confirm in a bulletin that 4 wouldn't have bloom on any weapons? At least nothing similar to Reach's bloom?
Seems pretty clear cut troll to me.
Whatever. Range on that thing, same diff.
PM Me motherfucker, I can't remember all of you, keeping up with GAF is hard enough already.
But that would be great Franklinator.
Yup.
Does the BR have spread? Is it hitscan? -xBrutaIity
The BR is a three-shot burst weapon. It is hitscan. In its current tuning, it has recoil (not bloom) which causes it to rise slightly (in a predictable and suppressible way). It is not a replacement for the DMR as has been discussed in the community. You will not see bloom as it currently exists in Vanilla Reach on any weapon, but there will be different methods for reticle targeting that vary depending on the weapon, and players will have a wide arsenal of weapons to choose from. More news about that later.

Pretty sure that sounds like a good deal. 343 handshake.

Reminds me of the beta version of Reach's covenant splazor. Nearly had a fucking heart attack when I was first hit by that thing. Sounded like the earth was grinding me between its teeth while a symphony of hacksaws scraped against blackboards.
I loved it.
or stop Kony.

An actual Halo, or two.
Of course you'd have to cut some corners... err, or add some.

I'm down, but I've never been good at, how do you say it? Oh yeah, winning.
OK, but how about online with the latest patch?
Come and play with us man.
As the Playdate Poster says, PM Me so that I can keep track.
The playdate is next weekend, unless you guys suggest otherwise.
Again, I can postpone it to allow time for people to get the game.
They are $20 at most best buys last I checked and in stock.
Remember to PM ME.

Just to make sure, Halo 2 is fine with Windows 7 right?
Yes it is!

Halo 2's BTB was my favorite of the bunch. Don't know if it that's nostalgia or what - it just seemed made for that mode moreso than later games. I was never very good at it, but it was always a good time. Maybe later games included more of that skill gap we've been talking about, along with people taking things a lot more seriously.
A lot of Halo 2's BTB maps played very nicely with both objective and slayer games
2 flag containment was fucking AMAZING and so was 1 Flag Relic and Terminal
Don't forget zanzibar.
The netcode is seemingly upgraded and better than the xbox version.

I remember Zanzibar and Headlong. And some other level that takes place on some pretty close knit streets. That and that I couldn't stand those bullet-sponge Brutes but that I also took great pleasure in watching those same Brutes fight it out with Elites. Hell, its been forever and a day since I last played.
And to think, I didn't actually grok Halo until Halo 3.
We got a full BTB squad's worth of players getting the game now. Join the Fun!
Just reposing this so It has the top of this page and is seen by more people, not everyone can keep up with GAF:
I want to play Halo 2 With GAF.
What do you all think about this?
Would you be up for this?
Links:
Halo 2 Amazon
Wireless Controller Adapter
What we play depends on how many people participate and what we want to play.
Does next weekend work for everyone or should I push it forward to allow for shipping time?
Like it says, if you want to participate, PM ME.
If your considering it, PM me so I can get an estimate of how many of you there will be.
Any suggestions? Questions, about this or Halo 2 Vista?
